It looks like it's there as a macro on v7.3-1:
$ sea sys$common:[decc$lib.reference.sys$starlet_c]*.h fab$v_erl
******************************
SYS$COMMON:[DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.SYS$STARLET_C]FABDEF.H;3
unsigned fab$v_erl : 1; /* Erase Regardless of Lock */
#define fab$v_erl fab$r_fop_bits_overlay.fab$v_erl
unsigned fab$v_erl : 1; /* Erase Regardless of Lock */
#define fab$v_erl fab$r_fop_overlay.fab$r_fop_bits_overlay.fab$v_erl
